Summary:"Hugh Dalton, Etonian Labour politician, was widely disliked by right-wingers, and with good reason. Not only was he a champion of socialist causes and, in their terms, a class traitor. He was also a pricker of pomposities, a ruthless debunker or the reactionary and the rich. Had they known about his diary, they would have disliked him all the more. ... This volume, the first of two, covers Dalton's period as a prominent minister during the Churchill Coalition."--Jacket.
